On-Premise NAS vs Cloud Backup: A Cost Comparison

£124.55 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £103.79 ex‑VAT, the Brother TN‑3170 is “okay but not exciting” value, and it really depends on how often you print. If you’re a busy office that runs consistent volumes and you want predictable output (sharp text, fewer headaches, no compatibility drama), buying the original is a sensible, low-risk choice. Originals tend to behave more consistently with Brother’s own firmware and toner calibration, so you’re less likely to see weird streaking or sudden quality drops compared with cheaper remanufactured options.
That said, if your print volume is low-to-medium, this price can be hard to justify. Many offices end up paying a premium for cartridges that sit half-used, and at that point cost-per-page from alternatives (or a different cartridge strategy altogether) usually wins. I’d buy this if you care about reliability over chasing bargains, but I’d be cautious if you’re strictly budget-driven—worth checking your actual monthly page count and comparing cost-per-page before committing.
